Charge and condition Apple laptops.

Just in time for the newest iteration of MacBook Pros, NewerTech has begun shipping an innovative docking cradle for Apple laptops (both MacBook and MacBook Pro). The Intelligent Battery Charging Station is the first such product designed for Apple's products.

Besides giving mounted laptops a rugged grab and go blade look, the $149.95 product promises to both charge and condition batteries, extending their lifespan and keeping a MacBook ready for action at all times. Laptop owners know that their batteries will loose their ability to hold a full charge if left plugged in at all times, and as such must often run their lappy to empty before plugging it in. NewerTech's solution claims to circumvent this issue by conditioning semi-charged batteries so as not to permanently damage them.

Though the dock seats two MacBooks, it can only charge one at a time. Users will have the ability to choose to charge a pair of MacBooks one after the other, or let the Charging Station charge one while conditioning the other. The NewerTech Intelligent Battery Charging Station is available immediately for $149.95.
